It will be the first in the series to be fully made since the death of Paul Walker, who was killed in 2013 after a Porsche Carrera GT he was riding in crashed into a concrete lamppost and two trees at 45 miles per hour before bursting into flames.

Bald action man Vin made a minimalist announcement, posting the picture of the forthcoming film’s poster without even attaching a caption.

Plot details have yet to be revealed. Intriguingly, and despite the New York poster, Universal is looking to make the movie the first major studio film to shoot in Cuba. A studio spokesman said: ‘Universal Pictures is currently in the process of seeking approval from the United States and Cuban governments to explore shooting a portion of the next installment of the Fast & Furious series in Cuba.’

NBC Universal vice-chairman Ron Meyer also previously said there will be flashback scenes featuring Walker.

While the third film in the franchise, 2006’s Tokyo Drift, did not include his character as it was made up of a whole new group of actors, it will be the first in the series that features the main cast that he will star in.

The film will be directed by Straight Outta Compton’s F. Gary Gray is directing Fast 8, taking over from blockbuster master James Wan. It is expected the full cast, including Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, will return, though this is yet to be confirmed.
